What to charge for labor for a custom-built PC including OS install

<< < (2/4) > >>

DaveMMR:
I would charge about $100 for that service if all the parts are already purchased and all I have to do is pop them in the case and install the OS.  If shopping needs to be done, I'd add an extra $25 (plus cost of parts, obviously). 

If you have to do anything extraordinary (unnecessary but cool case mods, as an example), add more too.  But otherwise, $100 seems like a fair price.  Waiting around for an OS to install does not 'stop the clock' in my opinion.

Blanka:
I did not mention the hours on the progress bar, but on tweaking the setup to a more smooth one. For example to startup using all cores, setting up firewall, disable annoying warnings, trashing unnecessary startup items etc.

HaRuMaN:
Thanks for the feedback, there are obviously a lot of variables involved, and would likely need to be something decided on a case - by - case basis. 

Most people here have chose the $101 to $150 option, that seems pretty reasonable.

Go for the most expensive. 

Go cheap and that is what you will get.

You get what you pay for.

Huh?

I'm talking about what I would charge to do a custom build for someone else.
